The rebuild has started. HV and LV junction boxes removed Dumped in a box I was never happy with the previous design that kinda evolved as I learned more about what I needed. I had LV components in the HV JB which is an obvious no no, and...

Finally got enough bits together to re-fit the rear wheel carrier. Forgot how heavy the wheels are when I had to lift it back on though 😂

... I saw the MIL in hospital this PM. Not great, but brighter than last time. Kept reporting to me that there were flies all over her bed sheets and occasionally that I had flies all over my face. I kept telling her there were no flies and that...

Now he tells me :D Ended up pulling it up from above after a brew. Put seven litres of oil in as per handbook and its showing about an inch and a half overfull on the stick Ran it for a minute or two and still the same ???

Hello everyone. I am Marben from the island of Malta. I have a freeeldnder 2006 automatic which i use for a sunday drive. I own this car for the past 17 years. Recently i am having problems with my auto box. When i start the car and drive for the...

Tbh it is no bad thing. Letting the torque spin out protects the driveline to an extent The issue with the m57 is that it makes a lot of torque very low down I have put a pneumatic centre diff lock in but I doubt I will ever use it unless I get...

Please make sure the battery has been disconnected for at least 30 mins before unplugging and plugging airbag connections 🫣

I’ve had a look at the chassis cause been doing a bit of sweeping of glass etc. The rear is/will be fbar’d, all the coating has burned off from where the floor arches up for rear seats, body undercoating from there backwards is also burnt away...

Thread size or spanner size?

Poileas Alba as they say round ‘Ere

Don’t suppose you remember what ohms resistor you used do you?

I take it out from above… loosen, let it drip, then lift out.

W got feed up washing my T shirts now it's mandatory that I wear a bib or no bacon and runny egg with hP sauce 😊😊

I've seen this mysterious starting behaviour before. The Landy concerned had two bad segments on the the starter's commutator. This means a lottery when going for a fresh start, as it depends on where the motor stopped rotating the last time it...

Gearbox to engine nuts are 9/16". The top two are either 9/16" or 5/8".

The hole is there, but it's clogged. I think the radiator isn't original and the previous owner replaced it. And I think he made a mistake. So I'm wondering how the oil cooler water circulates if this hole is clogged.

I use one of these. Decent lenght probe makes it easy to reach awkward bits. Neilsen CT0998 3pc Mechanics Stethoscope

You underestimate my ability to burn things..

If by blocked you mean the hole doesn't exist on that port, then it's fine and you can leave it. The updated radiator design is supposed to be like that.

In Newcastle it's a stottie cake. Best eaten with ham n peace pudding.

Now fair enough you might set the car on fire with a plumber torch soldering tiny wires but you can get electric soldering irons now which would be a little safer or even small gas powered ones lol.

Tis a bacon batch.

Ooh, the next thing is listen to the engine running with what resembles a doctors stethoscope. The noise could then be almost pin pointed to an area and give you an idea of where to go next. I had a client bring a jag with the 2.7td v6 to the...

Might grab some trusty Wagos out of the van then make a better fixing. Don’t trust myself not to set the car aflame with a soldering iron.

Had same on my Had same on my P38 SRS light kept coming on because of the connection so in the end I cut it out and soldered the wires together, end of problem.

Hello Sierrafery, I'm asking about a problem with my Discovery TD5. I have a 1999 10p engine. I've removed and cleaned my radiator. I noticed the hole coming from the oil cooler is blocked. Can I leave this setup on this model or do I need to...

@dag019 Tagged him for you @Phippu

Right so quick update - drove back from a cycle to the unit to dump the bike etc and had a quick nose under the seat to check which connector. Moved it slightly and now the SRS light is gone with no message either - so thankfully not the clock...
